We have been super busy this past summer doing lots of projects and traveling about. It's been a very fun, but very fast summer. I can't believe that I didn't even blog once in August.
Anyway, here is a recap of all the events I missed telling you about:
I ran/walked a 5K! I convinced my Mom into doing the Wasatch Woman Love your Body 10K/5K race with me. Signing up for a 5K and actually finishing it feels like such an accomplishment. I didn't do as well as I had hoped because I didn't train very much. But next year when I do the 10K I will be ready.
Right after the 5K, we went to Las Vegas on vacation. We wanted to get away somewhere fun before the end of summer. Will someone remind me that it's way too hot to visit Vegas in the summer next time? Thank goodness for pools and air conditioning.
One of the highlights of the trip for me was eating at Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace. Serendipity 3 is a restaurant from New York City that is known for their outrageously divine Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. See the amazing concoction below. It was the best drink/dessert I have ever had. Also, I posted a picture of the bacon cheese burger and waffle fries I ordered too. The food was amazing!
ser.en.dip.i.ty (n) The art of making happy discoveries, or finding the unexpectedly pleasant by chance or sagacity.
Another highlight was visiting the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. It was pretty incredible. One room looks like a you are standing in the middle of a ship wreck and you are pretty much surrounded by glass. We also got to pet/touch sting rays, which was pretty cool.
Last highlight of our trip was a visit to The Cupcakery (because of course I have to visit at least one cupcake shop per city). This place was very cute and the cupcakes were delicious and unique!
Last, but definitely not least, we celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary. This year our trip to Vegas was our gift to each other. We had a wonderful year, probably the best one yet, and I look forward to many more years together.

Well, that is all of the things we have been up to lately. I promise to be a better blogger now that fall is here. Happy Fall!
